Master Duel - March 28 2025 Banlist

Konami has compiled the trends and results of Decks used in Ranked Duels, and will limit cards and Decks with outstandingly high usage and win rates in line with their impact on the metagame.

Master Duel - Banlist Update Protocol

The changes made to the list reflect Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel's aim of preventing Decks from being too difficult to counter, and ensuring the game's tactical element is not compromised by overly short and/or one-sided Duels.

Check out which cards will have updated their playability as of March 28, 2025 here:

You're crazy if you think going +1 for free isn't broken. Pot of greed will never return.

Right now Maxx C is the only thing making the game playable. The mega decks right now are filled with floodgates and negates. Well good luck negating the thousand cards you gave me
